Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one?  Why? Why not?

I wouldn’t like to be one because I’m scared of needles. Mostly I wouldn’t be one because you have to poke people with needles and that looks painful and I think I’ll faint. Specially I don’t want to hurt people by poking them with needles. It looks really painful and I just dislike that. Finally it looks boring because all you’re doing is poking people with needles.
